Ten Dubai lunch menus, from steak and frites to a three-course Palm Riviera meal
A good Dubai lunch can be a quick steak and bottomless frites, a Northern Chinese spread that takes over the whole table, or a three-course meal with time to linger. Listed menu prices range from AED80 to AED189; some include mandatory charges, while others add fees or leave the treatment unstated. Service windows extend from Rowley’s 10:30am start to its 7:30pm finish, and a few menus also cover weekends. Compare what arrives, when it is served and what the bill adds.

The options
Rowley's — DIFC · Central Park Towers
A 250g steak, a crisp house salad and classic frites you can keep ordering: Rowley’s makes its AED80 lunch feel more like a proper steakhouse stop than a hurried set menu. It runs weekdays from 10:30am to 7:30pm, unusually generous hours for DIFC. Add AED20 for house Prestige wine or AED5 for another sauce. VAT is included; the 7% authority fee brings the plate to AED85.60. The current menu and homepage agree on the early start.
Hutong — DIFC · Gate Building 6
Hutong’s two set-lunch prices now have a clear difference: AED88 buys soup and a main, while AED110 adds two starters. The menu runs Monday to Friday, noon–2:30pm, and the set has to be ordered by the whole table (up to eight guests). Prices include 5% VAT; the 7% authority fee is extra. If dim sum is the reason to go, there is also an AED138 unlimited menu from Sunday to Friday, with premium mains and roast Peking duck charged separately. Gate Building 6 is two minutes from Emirates Towers Metro, with free valet at the door.
L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon — DIFC · Gate Village Building 11
At L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon, AED129 buys a starter and main or a main and dessert. The AED169 menu adds all three courses; AED189 gives you two starters and a main. Weekday lunch runs noon–2:30pm. The current menu ranges from burrata, leek mimosa and sea-bream carpaccio to grilled salmon, chicken milanaise and slow-cooked Wagyu cheek Bourguignon. Tartare or foie gras adds AED25; Wagyu striploin or black cod adds AED50, and sides are AED29. Prices include VAT and carry a 7% DIFC authority fee.
Bisou — Downtown · Dubai Opera Plaza
Just off the Dubai Opera drop-off, Bisou gives a late-running meeting somewhere calm to land. Its AED115 weekday menu runs until 4pm; the operator lists two courses but does not publish which course combinations they cover. The restaurant’s wider cooking moves between French classics and Middle Eastern accents. Check the day’s menu and final bill before setting the per-person budget.
Lakeview — Dubai Creek Resort · Port Saeed
Lakeview’s AED85 lunch has a useful fork in the road: choose a starter and main, or make the second course a slice of cake. It runs Monday to Friday from noon to 3pm at Dubai Creek Resort, with the terrace looking over the creek and championship golf course. House wine or draught beer adds AED30; another starter or cake is also AED30. That makes the final spend easy to shape around either a proper two-course meal or a lighter main-and-sweet break.
Jun’s — Downtown · Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard
Jun’s makes the course choice easy; choosing what to eat is the harder part. The weekday menu is AED125 for two courses or AED145 for three. Pick from starters such as wagyu beef potstickers, then mains including wagyu steak frites or mapo tofu claypot rice; the three-course option can finish with coconut-ube pie. VAT and the 10% service charge are included, with a 7% municipality fee added. Jun’s opens daily at noon and stays open until 1am, but its weekday lunch page does not give the set menu’s last-order time. Confirm that cutoff if lunch starts later in the afternoon.
Fi’lia — Business Bay · SLS Dubai
Fi’lia’s Italian lunch offers two tiers at AED105 and AED135 per person; both finish with dessert, and the higher tier opens more pasta and beef choices. The current SLS page says the menu runs daily from 12:30 to 3pm, but its linked 2026 PDF lists Monday to Friday only. Confirm weekend availability before planning around it. Antipasti, pizzas, risotto and a changing catch of the day give the menu room to shift with the kitchen; add-on mains cost AED45 or AED55. Listed prices include 7% municipality fees, 10% service and 5% VAT.
The Guild — DIFC · ICD Brookfield Place
At The Guild, a starter and main are AED119; a house-made dessert adds AED45. Weekday service runs until 4pm, except public holidays, so you can still sit down after the usual lunch rush. The dining room inside ICD Brookfield Place has several distinct spaces, giving a client lunch a little more atmosphere than a boardroom table. The offer page does not state the fee treatment, so check the bill before ordering extras.
LPM — DIFC · Gate Village Building 8
LPM’s AED50 step-up buys a choice, not just a dessert: Le Petit is AED135 for a starter and main, while Le Grand at AED185 lets you take a dessert or a second starter with your main. Both menus run Monday to Friday, noon–3:30pm, except public holidays. If the table wants to build beyond the set, burrata is +AED55, sides +AED40 and three lamb cutlets +AED65. The official menu’s current list includes rigatoni arrabbiata, salt-baked sea bream and grilled sirloin; it does not publish the final fee treatment.
Ristorante Loren — Palm Jumeirah · West Beach
On West Beach, Loren gives lunch the length of a Palm afternoon: AED160 buys a starter, main and dessert, every day from noon to 5pm. Drinks are extra. The seven-day window makes it as practical for a Friday catch-up as a weekday client meal; stay with the set or turn to the broader Italian menu of pasta, risotto, grilled meat and seafood. The operator does not state whether fees are added, so confirm the final total when booking.
Choosing by the kind of lunch
For a short weekday window, compare the cutoff and course count: Hutong ends at 2:30pm, Fi’lia’s page lists 3pm but its linked PDF limits the menu to weekdays, and The Guild and Bisou serve until 4pm. The Guild excludes public holidays. Rowley’s unusually long 10:30am–7:30pm offer and Loren’s daily menu also cover late lunches. Check the added fee and exact tier before booking.
